“The Bank Job”

November 7th, 2009

After a long time,  here’s a Hollywood movie that compels from start to finish. Great acting (Jason Statham, the British actor, among others), fast paced and super direction (Roger Donaldson). The kicker is that as unrealistic as parts of it seem, it’s based on a true story!Martine (the sultry Saffron Burrows) offers Terry (Statham) a lead on a foolproof bank in London. The target is a roomful of safe deposit boxes worth millions in cash and jewelry. What Terry and his cohorts don’t realize  the boxes also contain a treasure trove of dirty secrets – secrets that will thrust them into a deadly web of corruption,  illicit scandal and royals!
